I started a broker dealer, in case you forgot the name it was Terra Nova Trading. I started it with a conman who was in the middle of a major lawsuit from Prudential Securities and he was looking for clearing relationships in Chicago. That conman was named Jerry Putnam. I also introduced you to Townsend. I also introduced you to Lewis Borsellino. You have a damm short, selective memory. Remember that SCANSHIFT ran on Real Tick. Remember that some of the world's largest hedge funds had Real Tick in their offices and they loved SCANSHIFT, but they thought that Real Tick was not competitive with a Reuters terminal in performance. Remember that these hedge funds wanted SCANSHIFT put on Reuters? Remember how Townsend only had 1000 Real Tick paid terminals in the field in 1995, and today has maybe less than 5000. How does that compare to 350,000 Reuters terminals, or 200,000+ Bridge terminals, or 100,000 Bloomberg terminals? I am guessing you added 2 more people in your new accounts department so that they can handle the new accounts that you are soliciting for Terra Nova Trading, and the overflow accounts from PC Quote. Directly soliciting potential clients that could have gone to your branch offices again reflects on your character, and I bet that the principals of those branch offices do not like that. It is incomprehensible that you are directly competing on the web for customers? Again you middle name should be GREED. I would guess that some of the branch offices will see through your garbage and go on their own. Then what is your excuse going to be when they leave wiseguy?
